Kingdom’s Global Premiere Begins in the U.S. at 11 PM IST — No Paid Shows in Telugu States

Kingdom’s First Show Begins at 11 PM — But Not in India!

Vijay Deverakonda is making a powerful comeback with Kingdom, a high-stakes spy action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The film is slated for a grand worldwide release on July 31, 2025, in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil, and anticipation is building with each passing day.

But here’s a twist—while fans in India were expecting traditional paid premieres the night before release, there will be none in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana. Instead, the first-ever premiere of Kingdom is scheduled for 11 PM IST (July 30) — but it won’t be happening on Indian soil.

The U.S. will host the global premiere, with special shows kicking off at:

  • 1:30 PM EST

  • 12:30 PM CST

  • 10:30 AM PST

This means Telugu-speaking audiences in the U.S. will get the first glimpse of Vijay Deverakonda’s action-packed avatar—well ahead of Indian audiences.

Back in India, there are strong rumors of early morning shows in Andhra Pradesh on the release day, possibly starting as early as 4 AM or 7 AM, but no official confirmation has been issued yet.

Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas banners, Kingdom also stars Satya Dev, Ayyappa Sharma, and Venkatesh in pivotal roles. The film’s pulsating soundtrack comes from the ever-reliable Anirudh Ravichander.

With bookings already picking up momentum in both India and the U.S., Kingdom is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Now, the big question is: Can Vijay Deverakonda deliver the blockbuster comeback fans have been waiting for?

Rajinikanth’s Coolie: Revised USA Premiere Timings Bring Relief to Fans

Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited pan-India gangster drama Coolie is creating waves in the USA with exceptional bookings. The film’s pre-release buzz and ticket sales signal a potential record-breaking opening in overseas markets, particularly for Kollywood.

This change is expected to increase accessibility and drive higher turnout across theaters in the US.

The film boasts a star-studded cast featuring Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, alongside Rajinikanth in a powerful lead role. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is slated for a massive global release on August 14, 2025, just in time for Independence Day celebrations.

With music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the film is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year. The revised timing is a welcome move that adds to the excitement among fans and cinephiles in the US.

Telusu Kada’s ‘Mallika Gandha’: Thaman & Sid Sriram Deliver Breezy Classical Fusion

The much-anticipated first single from Telusu Kada, starring Siddu Jonnalagadda, Raashi Khanna, and Srinidhi Shetty, has been released — and it’s already striking the right emotional chords.

Titled “Mallika Gandha,” the song has been beautifully composed by Thaman S, with mesmerizing vocals by Sid Sriram and thoughtful lyrics penned by Krishna Kanth. What makes this track special is Thaman’s breezy yet rooted classical fusion style, blending Indian instruments like the tanpura and flute with a modern orchestration.

Sid Sriram’s semi-classical rendition breathes depth into the melody, subtly expressing the romantic and contemplative essence of the track. The visuals — featuring Siddu and Raashi Khanna — add more charm to the song, showcasing their on-screen chemistry in soft hues and dreamy settings. It’s a song that grows beautifully on repeated listens.

Directed by Neeraja Kona, Telusu Kada is produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under the People Media Factory banner. The film is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 17, 2025, just in time for the Diwali festive season.

War 2’s Spy Oath to Echo Across YRF Spy Universe, Confirms Writer Shridhar Raghavan

War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is gearing up to redefine the spy thriller genre with its intense narrative and high-stakes action. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is set to be the next major entry in the YRF Spy Universe, which includes Pathaan, Tiger, and War.

While the trailer dazzled fans with adrenaline-pumping visuals and powerful face-offs, it was the emotional “spy oath” in the opening 50 seconds that stood out. Screenwriter Shridhar Raghavan revealed that this solemn pledge, recited by both protagonists, is more than just a dramatic element — it’s a symbolic cornerstone of the entire spy franchise.

“We wanted to open War 2 with something deeper — a moral spine to the action. This oath binds all our heroes with a shared mission to protect the nation above all else,” Raghavan explained.

Interestingly, this spy oath won’t be limited to War 2. Going forward, every agent introduced in the YRF spy saga — whether it’s Kabir (Hrithik), Tiger (Salman Khan), Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan), or any new character — will take this pledge. It acts as a unifying element, giving emotional weight to the action-packed universe.

Kiara Advani joins the cast as the female lead, adding more star power to this much-awaited film. Backed by Yash Raj Films, War 2 will hit theatres on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, with a grand IMAX release planned.

With its blend of heart, heroism, and high-octane action, War 2 is not just a sequel — it’s a bridge to future spy thrillers in the growing YRF universe.

Sithara Clears the Air on War 2 Telugu Event – No Venue Finalized Yet

As anticipation builds for War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, fans have been eagerly awaiting promotional events leading up to the film’s grand release on August 14, 2025. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and featuring Kiara Advani as the female lead, the spy action thriller is expected to be one of the year’s biggest releases.

Recently, rumors flooded social media suggesting a Telugu pre-release event was in the works, with speculation pointing to Vijayawada as the venue. Reports even claimed that both Hrithik and Tarak would be sharing the stage for the first time during the promotional tour.

However, Sithara Entertainments, which holds the Telugu distribution rights, has officially debunked these rumors.

“The reports being circulated about the War 2 event are mere speculations. No venue has been confirmed yet. We will let you know as soon as it is officially finalized,” said a statement from the production house.

For now, fans who were hoping to witness a rare public appearance of Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR together will have to wait. While a Telugu event is likely to be part of the promotions, nothing has been finalized at this point.

With just weeks to go, expect major promotional activity to ramp up soon across Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil markets. Until then, all eyes remain on the official announcements from Naga Vamsi and the War 2 team.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s Revised Cut Hits Theaters — Key Scenes Removed for Better Impact

It has been five days since the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit, starring Pawan Kalyan in his pan-Indian debut. While expectations were sky-high, the film received a mixed response, particularly for its VFX and pacing.

In response to the feedback, director Jyothi Krishna and the production team acted swiftly, introducing a re-edited version of the film now screening in theatres. The revised cut aims to tighten the narrative, enhance pacing, and improve the overall viewer experience.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s changed in the new version:

  • Post-interval scene, featuring Pawan Kalyan and his men riding along a cliff, has been trimmed and re-paced for better flow.

  •  The controversial “flag scene”, criticized for its distorted visual of Pawan Kalyan, has been completely removed from the film.

  • An arrow-firing action sequence has been subtly modified to enhance its cinematic impact.

  • Major changes were made to the climax, with several face-off shots and a cyclone sequence cut down. The film now ends more crisply with Bobby Deol’s line, “Aandhi Vachesindhi.”

In total, 10 to 15 minutes of footage have been removed, making the updated version tighter and faster-paced. Early audience reactions suggest that the revised version feels more engaging than the original.

However, it’s a critical week ahead. With bookings still modest even on Monday, it remains to be seen whether these edits can revive audience interest and bring back footfall to theatres.

The Raja Saab: Prabhas Showcases His Comic Timing and Heroic Flair in Dual-Shade Role

Pan-India superstar Prabhas is all set to return to the big screen in a completely new avatar with his upcoming film, The Raja Saab. Directed by Maruthi, this much-awaited entertainer marks Prabhas’ first-ever venture into the horror-comedy genre, adding a fresh twist to his illustrious filmography.

The film’s promotional material, especially the initial glimpses and posters, has already generated massive buzz among fans. What’s most intriguing is Prabhas’ dual-shade character in The Raja Saab, where he balances two vastly different tones — a larger-than-life heroic persona and a light-hearted, comedic avatar. Sources close to the film say that Prabhas has effortlessly embraced both shades, delivering a performance that will appeal to both his mass fanbase and family audiences.

This unique blend of horror, humor, and heroism is expected to be a major draw for moviegoers, especially those looking for a festive family outing when the film releases.

The Raja Saab also boasts a power-packed ensemble cast including Bollywood legend Sanjay Dutt, and rising stars Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar. The film is being produced by UV Creations, which has previously backed several of Prabhas’ successful ventures.

Slated for release on December 5, 2025, The Raja Saab is expected to offer something entirely new — a mix of spooky thrills, emotional depth, and comedic charm — all headlined by Prabhas in a never-before-seen role.

As expectations rise and fan speculation grows, The Raja Saab might just be one of the most surprising hits of the year, showing yet another dimension of the Baahubali star’s immense talent.

OG vs Akhanda 2: Pawan Kalyan and Balakrishna Set for a Dasara Box Office Showdown on September 25

The Telugu film industry is bracing for a massive box office clash this Dasara, as two of the most-awaited films — They Call Him OG and Akhanda 2: Thaandavam — are both officially locked for a September 25, 2025, release.

On one side stands Pawan Kalyan, leading the gritty actioner They Call Him OG, directed by Sujeeth. The film, produced by DVV Danayya, has created massive hype ever since its announcement, with fans expecting a high-octane performance and stylish visuals. Despite no aggressive promotions yet, the anticipation around OG is soaring, especially given Pawan Kalyan’s recent political buzz and fanbase mobilization.

On the other end of the spectrum, Nandamuri Balakrishna returns as the fierce Aghora in Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, directed by Boyapati Sreenu. Following the blockbuster success of Akhanda, fans have been eagerly waiting to witness Balayya in another mytho-mass avatar. Boyapati recently put an end to all postponement rumors, affirming that Akhanda 2 will release as planned on September 25.

 A Clash of Titans

With both production teams holding firm on the date, the Dasara weekend is shaping up to be one of the most intense box office battles in recent memory. Fans of both superstars have taken the fight to social media, where fan wars, poster comparisons, and trending hashtags are already dominating the Telugu film space.

While industry insiders speculate that one film might eventually shift dates to avoid dividing collections, neither camp has shown signs of stepping back. Instead, expectations are that both films will launch aggressive promotional campaigns in the coming weeks, further fuelling the rivalry.

Following the buzz created by the Coolie vs War 2 clash this August, this Pawan Kalyan vs Balakrishna face-off could define the Dasara box office like never before.
